🚀What an incredible day we had at Batch Kickoff! Last Tuesday, we hosted our cross-vertical Batch Kickoff event, introducing our partners to the incoming batch startups. This marks the beginning of a 9-month journey where batch startups and Plug and Play corporate partners will collaborate to expand their innovations. The day was filled with startup lightning panels, partner discussions, and fantastic networking opportunities. It’s always refreshing to step away from our screens and connect face-to-face! We're eager to carry this momentum into our batch and can’t wait to see everyone at Silicon Valley Summit in November! Stay tuned for our batch startup press release! 👏And lastly, many thanks to @Aon for hosting us at their HQ in Chicago, the partner panelists: Susan Wernimont, PhD, RDN, Greg Hocking, Preeti Asthana and our wonderful keynote speaker Sridhar Sudarsan from SparkCognition.

Xampla has partnered with Lehmann Ingredients to expand microencapsulation technology for fortified food and beverages! They are working to eliminate exposure to PFAS chemicals by replacing plastic with edible, vegan materials. This technology reduces the risk of essential nutrients being damaged by pH imbalances, UV degradation, and pasteurization.
Xampla are delighted to announce our new partnership with food manufacturing supplier, Lehmann Ingredients to supply our breakthrough microencapsulation technology for fortified food and beverages. "Xampla's innovative encapsulation solution makes for a very exciting addition to our portfolio", Charlie R. Helgeson-Lehmann. This new partnership enables FMCG brands to fortify their products without costly overage as Xampla's microcapsules protect essential nutrients, such as Vitamin D, from degradation and external factors. Not only does our technology offer superior ingredient protection, but also optimised nutrient delivery with enteric release.

A sustainable solution-- now at an industrial scale! Check out Fibenol's #LIGNOVA compound for injection molding or extrusion-based sectors to produce different (bio)plastic parts!
🌿 We're thrilled to announce a new innovative achievement in the field of #biocomposite masterbatches: the first-ever #LIGNOVA lignin (70%) & #PBAT (30%) masterbatch, now available on an #industrial scale! 🗝 What sets this #innovation apart is the seamless blend of up to 70% LIGNOVA and 30% PBAT marking a significant milestone in the biocomposites industry. The PBAT from BASF Performance Materials is one key ingredient here. It's a sustainable polymer that works perfectly with LIGNOVA lignin, thanks to the expertise of the team at Sustainable Development Group (SDG). "It has been an exciting journey to collaborate with Fibenol on developing this innovative #compound. Our cooperation has been incredibly smooth, and we're very pleased with how everything has progressed. We're proud to have played a key role in the compounding trials and to continue our partnership as the production partner for the commercial launch. We look forward to seeing this product succeed in the market," Jens Vancoppenolle, Sales Manager at SDG. Why LIGNOVA? 🍃 LIGNOVA lignin has an #EPD-verified carbon #footprint of -1968 kg CO2 eq (with biogenic carbon). 🍃 LIGNOVA lignin is TÜV AUSTRIA Group certified: OK compostable HOME, INDUSTRIAL, and SOIL biodegradable. 🍃Natural scent - LIGNOVA has no sulfur smell and authentic brown colure. 🔎 Market Fit? This solution offers a sustainable alternative for injection molding or extrusion-based sectors to produce different (bio)plastic parts. For example, #biowaste collection bags, agricultural films, or long-lasting products in the automotive industry and various consumer goods. But this solution is an opportunity for the entire biocomposites industry. #woodybiomass #lignin #biocomposites #biodegradable #masterbatch #plasticindustry #biobased #fiberbeyondoil

For many of our startups, grants have enabled them to grow their products, continue R&D, and have a source of non-dilutive capital. Our batch mentor Emelie Lucas is the go-to grant expert. Emelie has over a decade of experience in grant management, submitted ~800 grant applications, securing approximately $4 billion in federal, foundation, and industry funding. Her grant workshop has helped our startups fine-tune their grant proposals to resonate with funding institutions and answer their various questions on the intricacies of grant writing. We are so thankful to have her expertise-- anyone who has written a grant application knows it is no simple task! Thanks for all you do, Emelie. 👏
